The pie chart given below shows the number of employees in 6 different companies. The total number of employees in all these 6 companies is 15840. The number of employees in a particular company is shown in terms of degree with respect to the total number of employees in all these 6 companies.

J1 = The total number of employees in P, Q, S, T, and U.

J2 = The difference between the total number of employees in P and Q and the total number of employees in T and U.

What is the value of (J1 + J2)?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. 19404.

We know,

Total number of employees in all the six companies = 360° = 15840

⇒ 1° = 44

We have,

J1 = P + Q + S + T + U

J2 = (P + Q) - (T + U)

Now,

⇒ J1 + J2 = (P + Q + S + T + U) + (P + Q) - (T + U)

⇒ J1 + J2 = 2(P + Q) + S

⇒ J1 + J2 = 2(180°) + 81°

⇒ 441°

Hence, the value of (J1 + J2) =  441 × 44 = 19404
